Answer: 1.50x+12.50=y

Step-by-step explanation:

“1.50x” is the cost of a ticket times a number of tickets. “12.50” is the cost of admission, with I found by multiplying the cost of tickets by the number of tickets Jermaine bought and subtracted it from his total cost of $42.50

do not copy word for word, hope this helps
